Yesaia 63

1 Hena ne oyi a ofi Edom reba, nea ofi Bosra a nkekae kɔkɔɔ wɔ nʼatade mu yi? Hena ne oyi a wɔahyehyɛ no kɔsɔɔ yi, a ɔde nʼahoɔden kɛse retutu taataa yi? “Ɛyɛ me a, mekasa wɔ trenee mu, nea otumi gye nkwa no.”

Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save."

2 Adɛn nti na mo ntade bere kɔɔ, te sɛ obi a ɔretiatia nsakyiamoa so de yi?

Why are you red in your clothing, and your garments like him who treads in the wine vat?

3 “Me nko ara atiatia nsakyiamoa so, na amanaman no mu obiara anka me ho. Mitiatia wɔn so wɔ mʼabufuw mu na mimiaa wɔn so wɔ mʼabufuwhyew mu; wɔn mogya bɔ petee me ntade mu, maa nkekae yɛɛ mʼadurade nyinaa mu.

"I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.

4 Na aweretɔda wɔ me koma mu na me gye afe aba.

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

5 Mehwɛe, nanso na ɔboafo biara nni hɔ, ɛyɛɛ me ahodwiriw sɛ obiara anso me mu; enti mʼankasa abasa yɛɛ nkwagyedwuma maa me, na mʼabufuw wowaw me.

I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

6 Mitiatiaa amanaman no so wɔ mʼabufuw mu; mema wɔbobowee wɔ mʼabufuwhyew mu na mihwiee wɔn mogya guu fam.”

I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."

7 Mɛka Awurade ayamye ho asɛm, ne nneyɛe a enti ɔsɛ ayeyi, wɔ nea Awurade ayɛ ama yɛn nyinaa ho Yiw, wɔ nneɛma pa bebree a wayɛ ama Israelfifo. Wɔ nʼayamhyehye ne ne mmɔborɔhunu a ɛdɔɔso no nti.

I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

8 Ɔkae se, “Ampa ara wɔyɛ me nkurɔfo, mmabarima a wɔrenni me huammɔ;” ɛno nti ɔbɛyɛɛ wɔn Agyenkwa.

For he said, "Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely:" so he was their Savior.

9 Wɔn amanehunu nyinaa mu, ɔno nso huu amane, na ɔbɔfo a ɔka ne ho no nso gyee wɔn. Ne dɔ ne ne mmɔborɔhunu mu, ogyee wɔn; ɔmaa wɔn so na ɔsoaa wɔn mfe a atwa mu no nyinaa mu.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

10 Nanso wɔtew atua de how ne Honhom Kronkron werɛ. Enti ɔbɛyɛɛ wɔn tamfo na ɔno ankasa ko tiaa wɔn.

But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Ruach: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

11 Afei ne nkurɔfo kae tete nna no, Mose ne ne nkurɔfo nna no. Ɛhe na nea ɔde wɔn faa po mu no wɔ? Ɔne ne nguan no hwɛfo no? Ɛhe na nea ɔmaa ne Honhom Kronkron no tenaa wɔn mu no wɔ,

Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Ruach in their midst?

12 nea ɔsomaa nʼanuonyam basa a ɛwɔ tumi sɛ ommegyina Mose nsa nifa so no, nea ɔpaee asu no mu wɔ wɔn anim, de gyee din maa ne ho afebɔɔ no,

who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

13 nea odii wɔn anim faa bun mu sɛnea ɔpɔnkɔ fa asase tamaa so, wɔanhintiw;

who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?

14 te sɛ anantwi a wɔkɔ sare so, Awurade Honhom ma wɔhomee. Sɛnea wokyerɛɛ wo nkurɔfo kwan de gyee anuonyam abodin maa wo ho ni.

As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Ruach of the LORD caused them to rest; so you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.

15 Brɛ wʼani ase hwɛ fam fi wʼahengua a ɛkorɔn, ɛyɛ kronkron na ho wɔ nyam no so. Mo mmɔdemmɔ ne mo ahoɔden wɔ he? Wɔayi wʼayamhyehye ne wʼahummɔbɔ afi yɛn so.

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

16 Nanso wo ara wo ne yɛn Agya ɛwɔ mu, Abraham nnim yɛn na Israel nso nnye yɛn nto mu de; nanso wo, Awurade, wo ne yɛn Agya; efi tete, wo din ne; Yɛn Gyefo.

For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn't know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.

17 Adɛn, Awurade, na woma yɛkwati wʼakwan na wupirim yɛn koma enti ɛmma yenni wo ni? San bra, esiane wʼasomfo, mmusuakuw a wɔyɛ wʼagyapade no nti.

O LORD, why do you make us to stray from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants' sake, the tribes of your inheritance.

18 Bere tiaa bi mu wo nkurɔfo faa wo kronkronbea nanso mprempren yɛn atamfo atiatia so.

Your holy people possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.

19 Enti yɛyɛ wo de fi tete, nanso wɔn de, wunnii wɔn so hene na wɔmmɔɔ wo din mfrɛɛ wɔn da.

We have become as they over whom you never bear rule, as those who were not called by your name.
